Hi, I thought I'd introduce myself finally.

I'm Annie Stewart, and I was someone who just drew a lot of Penny and Jean, the "Cookies and Cream and Caramel" duo. But now, with Penny becoming more of a teacher of magic, I'm her latest experiment: her protege, the subject of her teachings. She's a wonderful teacher, but I don't know if I'll be able to reach the quality of magic that she's managed over her decade of practice. I know a few things, have a firm hold of the basics, but she's... well, she's redefined her anatomy, learned how to duplicate her mind, fuse with others, and routinely takes mental vacation from existence. But if I can even attain a fragment of her knowledge, oh my gosh would I be so happy!

(A couple years ago, just before taking my last art hiatus, I came up with a new persona for myself: someone who reflects me more directly, capturing bits of my appearance, my neuroses, my habits good and bad. Say hello to Annie.

Penny will still be around, but she's going to be more in the sideline, cropping up here and there for mentoring and stuff my persona can't or wouldn't do. Which isn't much, but I still love her, so I want her to stick around)
